Alan Smithee, the pseudonym used by directors who refuse to put their name on a film, has become something of a symbol for the worst aspects of Hollywood filmmaking. Usually only used when the director of a given picture has had his control and vision usurped by bottom line driven studios, the name Alan Smithee denotes the struggles and compromises that come with making a big budget film. This tongue-in-cheek documentary looks at the seemingly prolific career of Mr. Smithee as it tries to discern the reclusive director's mysterious identity.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.85:1Audio: Stereo - EnglishInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusDVD-ROM Features: Web Links
